About this file

This document is a technical drawing specification for reinforcing bar (rebar) quantities and bend diagrams for full-scale flexure specimens prepared by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

The specification details three sets of rebar requirements: (1) Threaded Rod Connection configuration with 23 bar types ranging from No. 4 to No. 10 sizes, including stirrups, cross ties, pin hangers, longitudinal bars, angle anchors, skin steel, u-bars, and diagonal stirrups, with quantities varying from 4 to 52 units and dimensions ranging from 12.5 inches to 187.0 inches; (2) Bar Coupler Connection configuration with similar bar types and comparable quantities and dimensions; and (3) Test Bar materials consisting of No. 4, No. 5, No. 6, and No. 10 bars with three samples each at 48.0 inches in length, required to be delivered to NIST with the same heat number as specimen bars. All bars conform to ASTM A706 Grade 60 unless otherwise noted. The document includes detailed rebar bend diagrams showing six shape classifications (L1, L2, L3, U1, U2, S1, S2, S3, and H1) with specific bend radii, lap lengths, and extension requirements clearly dimensioned for fabrication reference. Revision R2, dated February 25, 2026, was prepared by Jonathan Weigand and Malcolm Ammons of NIST.
